13 COVERS: A STEVE DITKO Birthday Celebration

Steve Ditko, who was born Nov. 2, 1927, is more than just a comics great. He’s an artist whose body of work is foundational, inspiring fans and artists for decades.

His greatest accomplishment? Spider-Man.

So for this year’s 13 COVERS salute, we turn back to the ol’ Web-Head. Sure, I’ve highlighted Ditko’s Spidey work before — how could I not? — but this just seems to be the proper theme for a birthday with a nice, round number attached.

I was honored to be on the Amazing Spider-Talk podcast a few days ago, speaking about Steve’s work on Spider-Man and in the world of comics. In the process I hope to dispel some ongoing myths about the man: https://youtu.be/976l6HNJq2g
